"We engaged Mark S Davies & Co for a complex project, involving repairs to a large historic Church. This involved regular reporting to a funding body, as well as liaison with our architect and the contractors. We were extremely pleased with the service provided. Our surveyor was knowledgeable, responsive and proactive. He went above and beyond his normal remit to help and advise, and saved us a considerable amount of money and stress. We had many project challenges, but he was always available to discuss problems and propose solutions. I would strongly recommend Mark S Davies & Co / theonlinequantitysurveyor.com"

"We used Mark to help us understand the potential costs of a major renovation project before putting in an offer to buy it. With only limited plans to work from, Mark really helped us to understand the scope for costs to creep up because the property was Grade 2 listed and because of complexities of the site – like the slope and drainage requirements. We would recommend Mark as a pragmatic, knowledgeable and helpful professional. Without his help, we could have made some really expensive bad decisions"
